Power belting toothed

Mechanical transmission (power-grip toothed-belt drive) (see Fig. P-72)... 

This chapter is intended to give the reader an overview of the various standardized types of chain and their uses. Chains may be classified in many different ways. From a theoretical viewpoint, ehain is a eontinuous flexible rack engaging the teeth on a pair of gears. Certainly, a sprocket, being a toothed wheel whose teeth are shaped to mesh with a chain, is a form of gear. From a viewpoint based on its history and development, chain is a mechanical belt running over sprockets that ean be used to transmit power or convey materials. Neither of these aspects relate to the praetieal standpoints of either the producer or the user of the product. 

Drives is the term given to power-transmission equipment. The simplest form of power transmission is a belt drive. A belt drive can have a flat, V-belt, ribbed belt, or toothed belt design. These drives are common in applications such as conveyors. Conveyor manufacturers should be consulted for their catalogues on power-transmission capability.
